Nordic Snowflakes Color Option

Watercolor Flower

Use fabrics that have a watercolor look to give the geometric quilt pattern a softer appearance. In this wall hanging version of the snowflake became a stylized flower. A multicolor mottled print provides an interesting backdrop to the flower while still being calm enough to prevent visual overload from multiple busy prints.

Good Fortune

It's a lucky day when you can make two projects for the price of one! This pair of projects--a batik throw and coordinating table runner--features a variation on The Wishing Ring block. See the next slide for the table runner.

Star Patch Color Option

Pretty in Pastels

Tone-on-tone pastel prints result in a version of Star Patch that has less contrast than the original. Because this quilt used fewer fabrics than the original scrappy quilt, you can take advantage of strip-piecing to save a bit of time.

A Delightful Pairing Color Option

For the leaves in a neutral-color, fusible-applique version of A Delightful Pairing, play up the differences in five fabrics. Some leaves are cut from fabric with texture, such as moire, crackle, and ikat. Fussy-cut a floral to create leaves that look like buds and cut around leaf motifs, positioning the veins down the center of the leaf appliques.

Poinsettia's Allure Color Option

Gem of the Earth

Poinsettias transform into a multifaceted gem of Mother Nature when made in textures of rock, ground, and leaf. Frame one block with sashing and three borders to create a stellar focal point in a wall hanging.

Cheddar Baskets Color Option

In this version of Cheddar Baskets, go for dark and dramatic with a fabric collection that pairs florals and a graphic black-and-cream print. Showcase fussy-cut bouquets in the setting triangles and replace the center block with a fussy-cut bouquet.
